We carry on with hiddushim of Bitachon from Rav Chaim Kanievsky on Tehilim. In chapter 66, pasuk 3, David Hamelech claims, אִמְר֣וּ לֵ֭אלֹהִים מַה־נּוֹרָ֣א מַעֲשֶׂ֑יךָ בְּרֹ֥ב עֻ֝זְּךָ֗ יְֽכַחֲשׁ֖וּ לְךָ֣ אֹיְבֶֽיךָ׃ We will say to God, ‘How brilliant are Your functions along with your good energy. Your enemies will deny that they at any time sinned in opposition to You.’ They are going to realize how powerful You will be plus they’ll deny every thing after they’re placed on demo. They are going to try and deny everything given that they'll realize they are going to be punished. That is The straightforward clarification. Rav Chaim Kanievsky provides quotations a Midrash Raba in Esther, ten,fifteen wherever it says that ‘ How wonderful is God,’ means “ How magnificent are Your techniques that you simply do to humble the enemies in a very most wondrous way ? Those that are supposed to be killed will result in the others to generally be killed. Those people who are speculated to be hung will bring about their hangers to become hung. Those that were pushed in The ocean will wind up leading to people who pushed them to go in the sea. People who ended up burnt will lead to the Some others to get burnt. And those that be thrown for lions, they result in the Many others to be thrown in the lions.” What does that mean? Rav Chaim Kanievsky clarifies that in historical past, we see that in the event the enemies of the Jews endeavor to destroy them, the very location they made an effort to damage them with bounces back again on them. -On the list of first scenarios of the was Moshe Rabbenu. It claims that he called his son Eliezer to remind himself that God saved him with the sword of Paroah. Exactly what does that indicate?They desired to get rid of Moshe since it was documented to Paroah that he killed an Egyptian taskmaster, but in the event the executioner strike Moshe Rabbenu’s neck along with his sword, God created a miracle that turned Moshe’s neck into marble, as well as knife bounced again and killed the executioner. -An example of Those that wish to cling might be hung, is Haman. He ready the massive pole to hang Mordechai on, but as a substitute, he was hung on it. - The ones that are drowning people today during the ocean refers back to the Egyptians that commenced off by drowning the Jewish kids.
The Jews have been multiplying at an excellent price, as well as the Egyptians feared that they would quickly be outnumbered. Pharaoh experienced the answer: toss the Jewish boys to the Nile the moment they’re born.
We go on with insights in the famed chapter that we are saying three times daily, Ashrei Yoshvei Betecha. The primary Section of Ashrei, אַ֭שְׁרֵי יוֹשְׁבֵ֣י בֵיתֶ֑ךָ ע֝֗וֹד יְֽהַלְל֥וּךָ סֶּֽלָה׃ is found in Tehilim chapter eighty four,five. The Chida, his commentary Yosef Tehilot, quotations through the Rama M’Pano, who asks the following issue: The appropriate Hebrew for this verse אַ֭שְׁרֵי יוֹשְׁבֵ֣י בֵיתֶ֑ךָ Ashrei Yoshvei Betecha, which means, “ Privileged are the ones who sit in Your own home,” should be אשרי יושבי ב ביתך Ashrei Yoshvei B’ Betecha Privileged are the ones who sit in your house. What does “ Fortunate are those that sit your house ,” suggest? He points out that it seriously signifies is, “Privileged are classified as the folks, who, they by themselves, grow to be the house..the chair, the dwelling area of God Himself.” So we read it as Ashrei Yoshvei Betecha, The ones that sit and turn into Your own home. They are Your hous e. They are God's household. That is the task of every Jew, as we are saying, “Zeh Eli V’Anvehu/This is often God, and I'll build a dwelling place for Him.” The dwelling place for Him isn’t just an external setting up such as Wager Hamikdash or perhaps the Mishkan, but alternatively the person himself . This idea shows up during the Alshech, who explains, the pasuk in which Hashem suggests V’Asu Li Mikdash/Make for Me a Mikdash, and I’ll dwell in them . It will not say dwell in it ( which means the Mishkan). “ I’ll dwell in them , implies the Jewish individuals. Today, we don't have a Mishkan or Mikdash. But We've got our prayer. And once we pray, God dwells in us . We speak to God after we pray, mainly because He’s there. When we pray, He arrives down, into the extent that there is a Halacha that a person is not allowed to walk in front of an individual whilst they're praying. The easy rationale is simply because it'll distract them. However the deeper purpose is due to the fact whenever they're praying, the Room all over them will become holy, like a Bet Mikdash, so you're able to't enter that holy zone which is surrounding someone once they're praying. Which clarifies, heading back to we discussed yesterday, how the pious men of old, would contemplate for an hour right before they prayed. As we explained, the resource was Ashrei Yoshvei Betecha/ Privileged are individuals who (merely) sit and wait. But now We've got a further clarification: Fortuitous are those that turn into God's house . How do we come to be God's residence? What brings the Shechina down? It comes down only by way of imagined and contemplation. Plus the Shulchan Aruch brings down that these pious Males of outdated would attain these kinds of high levels of connection that it had been Pretty much similar to a prophecy.
I'd an opportunity to see an example of this difference inside a environment closer to household. For many years I was a high school rebbe. Someday, I was Talking to a youthful person about some things which were taking place in his existence, when he exclaimed, “Hashem is out to get me!”

” וְשֶׁב־שָׁ֑ם וַעֲשֵׂה־שָׁ֣ם מִזְבֵּ֔חַ And Sit there And make an altar there. The Seforno asks, Exactly what are we introducing with People two words- ‘( And) sit there ?’ The Seforno solutions that Hashem was telling Yaakov Avinu this basic principle in the pious Adult males of old, as he was about to build an altar, Which’s what our prayer is today; it’s a substitute for that sacrifices or choices about the altar. Hashem was instructing that you could't just dive into that featuring. You must sit and ponder. So This can be an ancient principle. People today look to Eastern cultures for meditation and mindfulness. But anything that's good is located in our Torah. That's this concept of Ashrei Yoshvei Betecha. It's not necessary to sit there with the legs crossed along with a turban on. It is possible to sit with all your legs straight together with your tefilin on. The point is similar: Emphasis . Crystal clear your mind with the clutter before you decide to pray. Another source for this concept is located in the Yalkut Shemoni, Shemuel ב It says that David Hamelech says, “I wouldn't pray to God until I stood continue to and calmed down. After which I'd pray.” Because it states in Shemuel ב (7,18) וַיָּבֹא֙ הַמֶּ֣לֶךְ דָּוִ֔ד וַיֵּ֖שֶׁב לִפְנֵ֣י ה׳ “ King David came, and he sat in front of God,” He sat , and soon after he sat and experienced kavana , and afterwards he began to pray. So this is a thing we see inside the greats of our past: Yaakov Avinu, David Hamelech… These are training us this essential notion of Ashrei Yoshvei Betecha/ Fortuitous are the ones that just sit and ponder right before they pray and distinct their minds from the muddle. And again, This can be brought down in Shulchan Aruch ( Or HaChaim chapter 98) This isn't just for Hasidim HaRishonim. He claims, this is most likely quite possibly the most difficult point for persons, “ Take out many of the views which have been preoccupying you, until eventually your feelings as well as your kavana are pure.” After which you can you can begin praying. Which is with the common man or woman. The Hasidim HaRishonim would devote one hour , And they'd achieve high degrees. We're just asking for a number of times of Ashrei Yoshvei Betecha. Have a beautiful working day.
Which is emunah—the clear understanding that Hashem operates the earth, from big to very little, from world wide to neighborhood, across all platforms and conditions. Hashem is there controlling just about every outcome.
– recognizing which you can completely trust in Hashem, and only on Hashem – is An important Element of our Chovos HaLevavos
